Today (30 august) is the birth anniversary of Shailenedra (30 august 1923- 14 deceember 1966). It is unimaginable but true that Shailendra lived to an age of only 43 ! The body of work that he had built up by that time was so imposing that he was already a legend by that time.

I came across this beautiful unknown song just today. It is from the movie Sautela Bhai starring Guru Dutt and Raaj Kumar. The beautiful song is set to music by Anil Biswas and the peppy lyrics are by Shailendra. There is almost a mathematical precision to the way the song is arranged, the singers and the chorus sing in a set pattern, after listening to one paragraph you know exactly who is going to sing the refrain, and when the chorus is going to repeat lines. Such patterns are usual in good poetry, and it enhances the rhythm of this song too. A special word for fantastic singing by Manna Dey and Meena Kapoor. Meena’s voice sounds so rich and full, like Geeta Dutt’s. She complements Manna Dey’s amazing voice perfectly.

Jin raaton ki bhor nahin hai

As a human being, Kishore Kumar was quite a study in contrast. He was mainly known by his ability to bring a smile, if not whole hearted laughter in people’s mind. His joie de vivre was infectious with his fellow artists. If Kishore Kumar acted opposite actresses now known for playing tragedy roles (viz Nutan and Meena Kumari), then you can bet that the resultant movie would be a light hearted comedy, and not a serious melancholic stuff.
